Jack’s school tour

Part 1

School invitation

Once upon a time there was a Monkey called Jack.He lived with his Mother in a zoo.

Sometimes by looking out through his window,seeing people moving  freely and doing what they want to do ,At the corner of the mind Jack  used to think he has been locked in his home which is depriving his freedom to roam the way he want and his wish to go to school.

Daily he used to write these words in his dairy and sleep. He dreamed of some unknown physique talking about his schooling, but it had never happened.

One fine day, Jack while dodging found a letter on the floor, addressed clearly without any mistake:

Master Jack

Monkey House

Zoo World.

The envelope was very glossy and attractive.

“Hurry up boy, What are you doing, have breakfast?”Shouted mother.

“Mother, look, here is a mail on my name”, said Jack with excitement.

Who’d be writing to you?” smiled mother and at the same time astonished to see the content of the letter.

With so much cheerfulness she said, “Jack, you got place in the school and they invited you for  the open day. you will have a chance to tour around the school, learn about curriculum ,educational ethos and participate in clubs”.

Jack hardly believed that his wish came true and started jumping and bouncing with merriment.  Somebody up there smiled gently spoke to himself, “ Dear Jack, Universe listens and responds to each and every soul. Your patience and faith paid off”.

Part 4

Class 1 curriculum

Under this curriculum children will be taught to follow rituals as a routine, they are not expected to know the reasons behind doing it. It is more like an isolated activity involving gestures, words, actions or objects performing as per structured sequence. Lots of learning happens by following traditions of community, beliefs. Kids will be under impression that if they don’t perform spiritual practices in set sequence, will have to face consequences. They do chanting, praying religiously without any knowledge of purpose and reasons behind doing it. Here expectations for physical body rewards from God are very high. We expect the kids leave class with the knowledge of personal and cultural identity. As they are primary school children, most of them believe that God has to take the responsibility of guarding and guiding them. At this stage Student feel like “You are Mine”.

Class 2 Curriculum

Under this curriculum children will be taught to know the reasons behind the spiritual practices. In this stage they keep some goals with some beliefs. Through these rituals they learn self-regulation and starts work with faith .Awareness of Purity for Mind, body and Law of Attraction begins.  At the end of the year, they can learn that expectations should be minimal and acceptance of divinity within themselves gets started.
